Decaying World

Chapter 239 Meeting 239

At this moment, Lin Hui inside the martial arts academy still appeared to know nothing.

He genuinely didn't know either.

Because of his affinity with the surrounding winds and wind disasters, his power level is extremely high, and his defensive capabilities are also extremely strong. After tempering his body with the Typhoon Sword Technique, the Star Breath Sword Manual further enhanced his physical strength.

According to his own tests, most priests, even if they stand in front of their opponents and let them hit them for as long as they want, may not be able to break through their defenses.

With such a high level of defense, Lin Hui didn't need to worry about many superficial forms of protection.

In addition, he is known for his speed, and his nerve reaction speed is far superior to others; otherwise, he could not have reached such a high speed.

Excessive speed, if not controlled, will inevitably lead to injury. It will also prevent timely reactions, causing a drop in combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the increase in movement speed inevitably leads to an increase in neural reaction speed.

In short, they are not as fast as him, and their neural reaction speed is also not as good as his.

Therefore, Lin Hui limited his perception range to a radius of 200 meters.

As long as you react before the other person enters your sensing range, there will be no problem.

Of course, he had already been informed in advance by the wind chime that Tu Yue and Ning Qianzhi were coming to find him.

At first, he was somewhat surprised, but he had actually imagined what it would be like and how he would deal with it when he actually faced the Fog People.

In fact, he was very much looking forward to this meeting.

After all, even a Blood Ancestor like Han Sanmian could no longer test the limits of his own strength.

In Black Cloud, a place with such strict rules, under the rules of the three great fog people, it might be a good thing to be able to fight Tu Yue in a limited way.

Finally, he also wanted to see if Tu Yue and the other person would actually infiltrate the Martial Academy and attack him.

Unfortunately, after waiting for so long at the Martial Academy, there was still no movement outside until noon. This made him realize that, in reality, Hei Yun's priority was higher than Tu Yue's.

Having figured things out, Lin Hui went to the cafeteria, got his food, and sat down at the table to eat slowly.

Regardless of the circumstances, Hei Yun will definitely send someone to contact him to confirm this matter after dealing with Tu Yue.

It's just a matter of time.

Before long, a tall, muscular teacher with a dark complexion approached.

"Teacher Lin, the dean needs to see you. He's in the main building of the Martial Arts Academy. Could you please come over?"

Dean?

Lin Hui's mind raced, and he quickly came to a guess.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

He slowly got up and followed the teacher out of the cafeteria.

Go up to the fourth floor of the main building and enter the largest office at the end of the corridor.

There was no dean inside, only a woman with a high ponytail wearing a dark red dress standing in front of the desk, her hand lightly writing and drawing on the surface.

The woman had fair skin and a tall figure. She wore a formal-looking white-trimmed striped robe over her long dress, making her look as if she had just come from a banquet.

Hearing the noise, the woman slowly stopped what she was doing and turned around.

At the same time, the office door automatically closed behind Lin Hui.

Click.

An invisible ripple instantly permeated the entire office, isolating it into a separate space.

"Now that neither sound nor breath can be transmitted, we can have a proper talk."

The woman's voice was solemn, carrying a natural air of coolness.

"Young friend Lin Hui, can you tell me what attracted a Fogman to travel thousands of miles across the ocean to come and take you back alone?"

"Could you tell me your identity before answering?" Lin Hui walked over slowly and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"I am Gongsun Xinlian, one of the Three Mist People of Black Cloud, and also one of the rulers of this city," the woman said calmly.

Her facial features were peculiar; she wasn't particularly beautiful, but she exuded a strange sense of pressure that made people unconsciously tense up in her presence.

She didn't have the colorful crystals like the Blood Ancestor, and Lin Hui felt more like his strict homeroom teacher from his previous life.

It's tense but not dangerous, serious but not cold. On the contrary, it has a strange kind of warmth about it.

"I see. I am Lin Hui, the Dao Master of Qingfeng Dao. I was originally cultivating quietly in the outer city of Tuyue City to improve my strength, but one day I suddenly discovered that I had been targeted by the Blood Ancestor and had become food for him to devour."

Lin Hui carefully recounted the entire story, telling the truth without embellishment.

After he finished speaking, he added one last sentence.

"So, in reality, at most, my friends and I managed to kill one Tu Yue Blood Ancestor, and that was a low-ranking one at that. I never imagined that Tu Yue would come to hunt me down personally. To be honest, I don't know much about the Mist People, so I didn't know she would actually come."

“I can understand that.” Gongsun Xinlian’s expression softened. With her nine thousand years of experience, she could naturally tell at a glance whether Lin Hui was fabricating or lying.

"Tu Yue is a greedy and ungrateful person. She only cares about pleasure, promiscuity, and fine food. She will do anything that interests her on a whim. I've known her for a long time. She's a despicable woman. If she wants something, you should satisfy her needs without considering the consequences. Otherwise, I'd rather destroy everything!"

It's quite obvious that there's some history between this person and Tu Yue.

Just by listening to that tone, you can tell how deep her resentment towards Tu Yue is.

Before Lin Hui could guess, Gongsun Xinlian continued, "That bitch seduced my fiancé like this, offering herself up and accepting whatever tricks she tried with a disgusting, eager look!" She paused here, then stopped speaking.

"Alright, now that you're here in Black Cloud, you're one of us. As long as you don't cause trouble, my two siblings and I will take care of everything. Of course, you also need to demonstrate sufficient value, otherwise if Tu Yue's side becomes too troublesome, we won't be able to resist handing you over."

The following sentence was clearly added in time, obviously to prevent Lin Hui from taking advantage of Hei Yun's protection and slacking off.

"Thank you, Lady Xinlian! I am already deeply grateful to have a place to cultivate in peace. I will certainly work hard to build up Black Cloud and live a law-abiding life in the future," Lin Hui quickly expressed.

He likes people who like to be at the forefront and take the lead.

If the sky falls, others will hold it up; he just needs to live his peaceful life in peace.

That was his idea.

“Alright. It would be a waste of your talent to continue teaching here. If you want, you can go to the main campus to become a teacher.” Gongsun Xinlian’s tone softened.

"No need for that. I'm already familiar with and used to this place. Moving to another place would mean getting used to it all over again. This is fine," Lin Hui quickly replied.

"Suit yourself." As soon as she finished speaking, Gongsun Xinlian's figure slowly dissipated, as if she had never existed in the first place.

The lockdown on the dean's office also disappeared, restoring the original normal environment.

Lin Hui stood up from his chair; things had taken an unexpected turn.

He originally thought that the fog people of the Black Cloud would hand him over and let him deal with Tu Yue's troubles on his own.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xinlian only asked a few questions before taking the initiative to shoulder the responsibility.

'So he's still bothered by past personal grudges,' Lin Hui thought to himself.

He just couldn't find an excuse to make a move before, but now that he had one, it gave Gongsun Xinlian the perfect opportunity to do so.

They're letting him stay, which is clearly helping him to hold out to the very end.
Lin Hui could tell the difference between the two groups of people just by looking at the overall atmosphere of Tu Yue and comparing it with Hei Yun.

Once outside the office, he knew very well that this wasn't over yet. Tu Yue had traveled all this way to follow him, and her dedication and determination wouldn't be undone by this one obstacle.

Soon, after school, Lin Hui received numerous messages from Feng Ling.

All the inquiries and concerns came from Qingfeng Dao regarding this matter.

When they returned to the compound, most of the main members of Qingfengdao had already returned.

Xia Si, Su Yaping, Wang Hongshi, and others were all present.

"What are you all doing here? Don't worry, Tu Yue won't dare to act forcefully. This is Black Cloud."

"No. Dao Master, look over there." Su Yaping pointed to the right side of the Dao Academy, where a large courtyard-style mansion similar to this one had been built at some point.

A large character "宁" (Ning) was hung on the main gate of the mansion.

At this moment, the courtyard gate opened silently, and a slender woman wearing only two strips of black cloth walked out gracefully.

The woman's body was covered by two black cloth strips that formed a V-shape, barely enough to cover her three vital points.

Her long hair was loose, and her upper body trembled and swayed as she walked. Her face, which was clearly just pretty, inexplicably exuded a stunningly alluring charm, as if it were about to drip water at any moment.

hiss.
The male disciples of Qingfeng Dao couldn't help but gasp.

"Be careful, this is this bitch's specialty: seduction!" Suddenly, a cold and serious female voice exploded in Lin Hui's ears.

Lin Hui understood; the strongest attribute of the Mist People, according to legend, was their mental fortitude. It was normal for them to possess such abilities.

But to be honest, he felt nothing about it. The power of the wind disaster had now mixed with the surrounding wind, with his internal energy that he used to protect himself at all times, and even entered every inch of his body.

This power, through the tempering of the Typhoon Sword Technique, continuously transformed his body, his mind, and enhanced his spiritual strength.

This is also the key reason why his mental state improved so rapidly later on.

“Sister, why are you like this? I just want to chat casually with my city kid. Do you have to interfere and forbid even this little thing? Is this huge black cloud really that idle every day?” Tu Yue gently tidied a strand of hair behind her ear, speaking with a hint of grievance.

"If we weren't both city lords of the Federation, and were bound by the rules from fighting, and if someone else acted like this in front of me, I would have crushed you right now!"

Gongsun Xinlian's voice grew increasingly cold in mid-air.

The two communicated telepathically, rather than openly. So to outsiders, it appeared as if Tu Yue walked out the door, paused briefly, and then showed a look of grievance and pitifulness on her face.

"Alright, you can all leave now. I'll handle this." Lin Hui instructed everyone to leave through the wind chimes.

"Teachers, please be careful! This woman is extremely dangerous!" Among the crowd, including the woman Li Yuanyuan, everyone was captivated by Tu Yue's alluring charm. It's clear that this kind of spiritual pollution truly knows no gender.

Xia Si, however, bowed to Lin Hui before leaving and solemnly transmitted her voice.

She seemed unaffected by Tu Yue due to some special difference.

"Huh?" Tu Yue noticed this too. Her gaze fell on Xia Si.

"I'm becoming more and more interested in you." Her gaze quickly shifted to Lin Hui.

At this moment, the people around quickly dispersed and left.

Lin Hui was left alone, standing at the door.

"May I ask who you are?" he asked softly.

“You grew up in my city, and now that you’ve met me, the city lord, don’t you feel any sense of kinship?” Tu Yue stepped forward and naturally leaned close to Lin Hui, trying to gently press her upper body against his arm.

"You bitch!! If you dare to lay a hand on me, don't blame me for making sure you can't go back to Tuyue City!!" Gongsun Xinlian's even angrier voice came from mid-air.
